Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to solve caliper drag, on the new (used) Nissin Calipers i installed on my Gen2 street bike only?
The Facts
-With the stock Tokico's i could spin the wheel at least 3-3.5 full turns with a good push.
-Galfer lines
-With the new Nissin's i'm lucky to get a full rotation and a half
-Came from a 2009 Zx-6r, perfect shape with stock pads.
-I followed the following procedure that i've done a couple of times at it always works great.

-The pistons do side really easy back into the bores when i was cleaning them. Its don't appear that a piston is stuck.
-The drag seems to be coming from both side as i've tested one at a time
-I removed the anti rattle clips as well
-Everything seems to be bled properly and the lever is rock solid, the lever is not getting hung up.
Will this amount of drag cause the brakes to over heat? Its seems to lose power over long hard stopping distance (the brakes start to feel wooden).
What type of pads would you recommend for street use only? I've had EBC HH in the past and don't like them.
I have to say, as it is, its still night and day over the stock garbage. What a great upgrade..
Thanks is advance
